Executive summary This clip shows our horizontal orbital wrapping line for copper sheet bundles. Bundles travel on conveyors into the orbital ring, which wraps them end to end while an operator watches from the panel; the wrapped bundle leaves fully covered. Copper marks and tarnishes easily, so a full cover matters.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Infeed | Copper sheet bundles on conveyors |
| Wrapping | The orbital ring wraps the bundle as it passes |
| Operator | An operator runs the line from the control panel |
| Cover | The bundle is covered end to end |
| Outfeed | Wrapped bundles leave on the conveyor |
Why copper needs a full cover
- Tarnish. Copper darkens in humid air.
- Marks. Soft surfaces scratch in handling.
- Fingerprints. Bare hands leave marks.
- Full cover. End-to-end wrapping closes all of these off.
Turns per bundle
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Bundle length (illustrative) | 3,000 mm |
| Wrap width (illustrative) | 150 mm |
| Overlap (illustrative) | 50% |
| Advance per turn, 150 × 0.5 | 75 mm |
| Turns per bundle, 3,000 ÷ 75 | 40 |
What we set per bundle
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Ring size | Bundle section |
| Material | Film, paper or both |
| Overlap | Storage and transport |
| Conveyor | Bundle length |
Selection checklist
- Bundle length, width and height.
- Bundle weight.
- Film, paper or both.
- Overlap.
- Bundles per hour.
- Line layout.
Safety
- Keep clear of moving stations.
- Stay outside the fence while the line runs.
- Lock out before clearing a jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: Why wrap copper sheet bundles? A: Copper tarnishes and scratches easily; a full cover protects it.
Q: How does the wrapper work? A: The orbital ring wraps the bundle as it passes on the conveyor.
Q: How many turns per bundle? A: It depends on length, wrap width and overlap; 40 spiral turns for a 3 m bundle in the worked example, plus end wraps.
Q: Can it use paper? A: Yes, film, paper or both.
Q: Is it inline? A: Yes, bundles come and go on conveyors.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
